Hi, Joachim

I just answered almost the same thing on the zope list, so it's fresh in
memory.

Good.  You created the view in the base class.  This was important.

Click the Views tab in your IntField ZClass.  There should be something
called propertysheets/Basic/manage in the Method select list.  It came
from the Field class.  Use it.  You may name it "FieldBasic" if you
wish.
